    Tips

    This lock is unique in France with its circular construction. Its 32-meter diameter stone basin was built between 1835 and 1841.

    It is located near the Guétin canal bridge and a dam on the Allier River, which allowed water to be drawn from it and transported to the Loire lateral canal.

    At the time, boats used this feeder channel to cross from the Allier to the canal, but it was decommissioned in 1950, and now only water travels this route.
